Faculty

Educational excellence begins with high-quality faculty and staff with spiritual vitality and professional competency. The love they regularly extend to students, the time they invest to improve their content knowledge and instructional skills and their commitment to Christian education sets them apart.

Thriving Fine Arts Programs

PCA’s fine arts programs are strong and thriving. Talented students routinely achieve at high levels in areas of art, theatre, vocal music and instrumental music, and are consistently recognized at state and national competitions.

Gifted Instructors

An incredible faculty guides students in sharpening their skills and using their abilities in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. Our teachers are gifted artists in their own right, with a passion for sharing their love of the arts with students.

Online Giving

PCA Fund

Every student at PCA benefits from the PCA Fund. While tuition provides access to the very things that most likely impacted your decision to select PCA to meet your family’s educational needs, gifts to the PCA Fund are necessary to help sustain and expand them. A gift of any size matters.

Missions

Missions and service opportunities at PCA allow for students to interact with others in local, state, national and international communities. Experiences such as visiting the elderly in nursing homes, helping in the shipment of the shoes to orphans around the world, ministering to people groups along the Amazon River in Brazil and more all serve to enrich students’ understanding of self and others in light of God’s design.

Each grade level is assigned specific trips to pray for as well as gathering the items needed for the students to take to missionaries and the people they serve.

Upper School Minimester: PCA’s Upper School Minimester experience allows students the opportunity to engage with other cultures, investigate areas of personal interest, or explore new horizons. Traditionally Minimester occurs the week before spring break and is a much anticipated time for both students and faculty members. Both Lower and Middle School students demonstrate support for Upper School students through prayer and the gathering of needed supplies for each trip.

PCA Service Projects

Parent/Teacher Fellowship heads up this ministry in conjunction with 4th grade students.

On the first Monday and Tuesday of each month (excl. February), 4th grade students and moms collect designated items at the Lower School entrance, which are donated to various service projects and agencies in the area. The donations include non-perishable food items, gently-used coats, toys, books and DVDs. Middle School and Upper School students deliver Manna Monday donations on their service project days during the school year.

Manna Monday is an on-going opportunity to emphasize service and outreach to our community, state and world.

Operation Christmas Child is a service project Prestonwood Christian Academy participates in with Prestonwood Baptist Church. Operation Christmas Child is an international program started in 1993 by Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse. The goal is to collect shoeboxes filled with toys for children which are sent by Samaritan’s Purse to 130 countries around the world with the gospel message tucked inside. PCA encourages students to participate as another mission opportunity to serve others and share the gospel.

Every Seventh through Twelfth grade student participates in two service project days a year. We have approximately thirty advisory groups that are assigned to serve the community in eighteen different locations around the metroplex. Some examples of local areas we serve are: food pantries, senior citizen services, resale shops, men/women shelters, Habitat for Humanity work projects, retirement facilities and several Mi Escuelita schools. This is a highlight for our students to be able to use their gifts to serve others in our community.
